kokodoko 67 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 My first day of skiing at Hirafu. Overnight we had about 10-15 centimeters. The snow was pretty dry but hard and icy underneath. I just cruised, taking it easy and getting my legs in. photos by Tai. thanks. Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Yeah, no prizes for overdoing it first day. I only got to see the sides at the very bottom of Yotei when I was there, but it looked like it was going to be much more massive than it comes across in photos. If them's your skis, you'll have to lend them to ippy when he does his ski jump! They look a suitable size. Link to post Share on other sites

kokodoko 67 Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 More snow last night, maybe about 10-20cms. I took a few shots from the Ace Quad first run up. It was snowing very early but blue skis came out later on, probably about 9am. No wind. First run down super Some other punters Mount Yotei from down near the Ace family lifto. Wind is starting to blow this afternoon. still sunny. And will remember to smile and take the cheese... or say cheese for the camera.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Was a beautiful day today out on the hill. Had Ramen for lunch and the fam got interviewed by Japanese TV. They clearly wanted the noob Gaij in Japan because when my son answered their question in Japanese they very quickly turned the camera to his noob mate and got him to say "Niseko Great".

gnarly-dude 1 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 A bit on the Japanese news about Australians in Niseko. Sounds like highly original programming, that! Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Were they amazed at your chopstick-using abilities? They probably flew to find some proper gaijin who can't use them, no doubt! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Absolutely!! Anyone speaking Japanese or rocking the chopsticks got passed by very quickly. Lots of focus on that 'real' kind of gaijin! But the important thing here was....bluebird day with soft snow under foot. Mmmmm...yeah...cheesy TV can not ruin that! Link to post Share on other sites
